The BART testers are easy to use biodetectors that tells you something about how active the bacteria are and which types of bacteria are active in the water sample. Additionally, if you are applying a treatment then the effectiveness of that treatment can be measured using the selected BART™ testers.

The BART testers can provide a variety of information that can be useful in understanding bacterial activity. They provide three key features to bacterial water analysis. First, they can provide you an interpretation on the bacterial activity in a given water source, so you will know when to start rehabilitation process. This is a kind of "early warning system" against biofouling and corrosion. Secondly, they can address what types of bacteria are currently active in the water source. Thirdly, you can see the effects of regeneration.

Easy to Use

The BART biodetector requires no microscope, no laboratory, and no incubator! The test is done at room temperature in your office or treatment room, on a desk, shelf, or in a cupboard, and is viewed daily. Different microorganisms like to grow at different heights in a column of water to which nutrients have been added. BART biodetectors contain nutrients in the base of a column and a ball. The ball restricts the amount of oxygen entering the water column, so that aerobic organisms grow around the ball and anaerobic organisms grow deep down in the water column. By changing the nutrients in the base of the column, different organisms are encouraged to grow. BART determines presence and activity levels.

Easy to analyze

The time taken for a color change (reaction) to occur gives a measure of the population size and activity. A color change occurs in the BART tube as a result of the oxygen gradient diffusing from the bottom upward. The change of color indicates a presence of bacteria within that sample. Interpretation is provided with the kit.
